MUSC Neonatology is also one of the first in the nation to standardize the approach to diagnosing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) a severe intestinal disease, using adjunct bowel ultrasound for preterm babies. #innovation #nec #preterm
There is a new approach to monitoring Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) is essentially an abdominal ultrasound that’s painless and noninvasive. It doesn’t require any of the more intensive bowel preparation needed for invasive procedures like colonoscopies, and it doesn’t have any side effects. It’s also more efficient and cost-effective than CTs and MRIs, making it the fastest way to determine treatment responsiveness and/or reaction to medications. Dr. Carmine Suppa is leading the IUS pilot program at MUSC Children's Health and is one of a small group of pediatric gastroenterologists in the country who is trained to use IUS. https://lnkd.in/eckSTaq6

Point-of-care ultrasound is a safer, more reliable alternative to X-ray in diagnosing pneumonia and other lung issues. It's done in a way that provides information more quickly, yet it’s not widely considered the standard of care. Butterfly's iQ3 and iQ+ are capable of whole body imaging on a single probe, and even have presets dedicated to supporting accurate lung scanning. This article explores how POCUS can impact diagnosis and treatment of the lungs, particularly in pediatric care: https://lnkd.in/eh2TUECg #pocus #accurate #diagnosis #ultrasound

In a remarkable medical evolution, congenital heart disease care has transitioned from a once bleak prognosis in childhood to a manageable chronic condition into adulthood. This shift highlights: ✅ Progressive medical advancements in diagnostics and treatment. ✅ Increased lifespan and quality of life for patients. ✅ The need for lifelong, specialized cardiac care. A testament to the strides in cardiology, this evolution opens avenues for future research and patient-centric care strategies in congenital heart disease. #Cardiology #Innovation #PatientCare

Advanced heart failure resulting from congenital heart disease correction during infancy has a distinct natural disease course, warranting the need for follow-up. The management of congenital heart disease in adult patients requires specialized hospital services and trained personnel capable of handling this new phase of pediatric cardiology. https://lnkd.in/e3NZDtyk

Two years ago, we developed a multidisciplinary clinic for complex pediatric movement disorders with collaborative subspecialists between Lurie Children’s Hospital and Shirley Ryan Ability Lab. One major conversation was just how safe and / or common it was to place intrathecal Baclofen catheter tips in the cervical spine. Concerns about swallowing and breathing are valid with cervical ITB and the best evidence we have is from 2007. We do a majority of cervical catheter tip placements in patients with secondary dystonia or mixed generalized hypertonia. We looked at our 18 month experience with 25 cervical tip placements and found it to be both safe and effective. We are using this as baseline evidence to move forward with a multi-site study through the CPRN.

Ophthopedia Update:Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking for Progressive Keratoconus in Pediatric Patients: Up to 14 Years of Follow-up: Keratoconus (KC) is a noninflammatory, slowly evolving corneal ectasia that causes significant visual dis-tortion and visual loss, often having a considerable impact on the patient's quality of life, particularly when pediatric subjects are involved.1 Pediatric subjects are of particular interest because they are affected by a more aggressive disease and are often found to be more advanced at diagnosis, requiring corneal transplantation earlier than adults would.2 A striking inverse correlation between age and severity of KC has in fact been found. #Ophthalmology #Ophthotwitter #Scicomm

Pediatric-onset ARVC may be suspected in early stages before progression to definite ARVC by the qualitative finding of an ms-RVOT - with three very curious case reports.

Exploring the Depths of the Heart: 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography in Pediatric Care: The world of pediatric cardiology has been revolutionized by the advent of 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE). This advanced imaging technique allows doctors to view the heart in three dimensions, providing a detailed and comprehensive look at its structure and function. Children, particularly those with congenital heart defects, require precise and non-invasive imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. 3D TEE is particularly useful during cardiac surgeries and interventions, as it guides the procedure in real-time. Recent guidelines have been established for performing comprehensive TEE examinations in children and patients with congenital heart disease. These guidelines include protocols for image acquisition and techniques for assessing specific structures and anomalies. In the past, the larger size of available 3D TEE probes limited 3D TEE assessment for older children and adults. With the introduction of the 9VT-D miniTEE by GE Healthcare in September of 2022, the applications of 3D TEE for CHD continue to expand, offering unparalleled insights into the pediatric heart for even smaller patients. Echocardiography remains a critical tool in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart diseases, paving the way for better outcomes and brighter futures for our youngest patients. Disclaimer: This post aims to inform and educate about the significance of 3D TEE in pediatric cardiology. For more detailed information and guidelines, please refer to the American Society of Echocardiography’s comprehensive recommendations. #GEHealthcare, #9VT, #PediatricEcho, #Congenital, #Echocardiography, #VividE95, #FutureofCardiology, #UltrasoundInnovation #VividUltraEdition #Cardiology #Cardiologist #TEE #MiniTEE #4DTEE #Ultrasound #CHD #SHD

February 7-14 is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week, which aims to recognize those living with congenital heart disease and increase awareness of these conditions. Congenital heart diseases, also called congenital heart defects or CHDs, are birth defects that affect the structure of a baby’s heart and how it works. Approximately 1% of newborns are born with a CHD each year, and about 1 in 4 infants born with a CHD will need surgery or other procedures within their first year of life. Today there are more than 2.4 million children and adults in the U.S. living with CHDs.
